Several attendees dropped off items such as deodorants, face soaps, hand soaps, games, hair products, blankets, house shoes, wash clothes, and money to purchase items. Following the MLK program, the Suggas continued to collect and shop for more items. Last week, the Brown Suggas club delivered the items to elder care centers in Weleetka and Okemah.
